Topic: I hope when I die... (Read 7157 times)

I have a stroke at the Ritz Hotel in London, and then get a $12,244,600 funeral. Aren't you in a quadruple-dip recession during which you coughed up monstrous amounts for a royal wedding, the Jubilee, and the Olympics?

But one thing is for sure -- they better not put me in a casket wearing black socks. I'd be damn upset.

I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but the Falklands was the only good thing she ever did during her time at #10

Are you serious? Defending a sad crop of rocks with 2000 inhabitants that is, in essence, a vestigial mishap of colonialism? I mean what's the cost/benefit for that? Some sheep's wool in contrast to the £3 billion spent ($4,591,710,000) in 1982 amounts. That's $10,753,212,868.46 in today's money. And that was only six years after the IMF had to bail the UK out of insolvency.

When I watched the movie The Iron Lady I just wanted to shoot the TV . I know it was just a stupid movie but I thought that if you are going to tell a story like hers do it truthfully and they did not do that .

I thought recalling events through the mind of an Alzheimer's patient was in poor taste .

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I read this absolutely brilliant article by Glenn Greenwald titled "Margaret Thatcher and misapplied death etiquette" as to why "the dictate that one 'not speak ill of the dead' is (at best) appropriate for private individuals, not influential public figures"

Does that mean I can mention that song from The Wizard of Oz that keeps going through my head?

You know, when I studied abroad at the Winchester School of Art that old bat had cut funding so much the lithography studio ran out of inks after two weeks, and we had to make ink the old fashion way by slowly grinding pigments in oil. No amount of bad PG tips and soggy cucumber sandwiches could make me enjoy that process. And what kind of people put butter on sandwiches?

She and Ronnie were perfect for each other. Dimness joined to unfeeling arrogance.

Saving the Falklands was as fake a distraction as that weapons of mass destruction ruse. What was very real was the Brit sinking of an Argentine warship with almost 2,000 sailors on board. All those young lives thrown away with lamebrain Prince Charles leading the charge. Uh, which way is the front?

So friggin' disgusting.

The Baroness got the movie she deserved. It was so dull I never made it through the whole thing. Kinda a travesty for Meryl to cop an Oscar for that one. Some peeps can brighten the world by leaving it. Now all the talking heads can yap on about her and trot out every cliche. Ugh.
